I'm going to assume you're using Windows. In that case go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and configure "Character Repeat". What this will do is repeat a key you're holding as if you're pressing it multiple times! Configure it until it feels natural.
This is what people were referring to when we said we're holding a key. We're not pressing it 10 times, just holding it down and having the computer automatically repeat it until we're happy with the result (such as having moved where we wanted to). It's a bit like moving a mouse cursor, where you're also not calculating the offset you want to move your mouse in advance.
- eviks 9mo ago> It's slower to "stop precisely"on key hold/release For longer distances, unless your repeat speed is very slow, you're often either holding a key repeat and stop before a few lines and then tap or overshooting and tap to go back. So ok, it's not 1x10, but 7+1x3 or 12-1x2 (but yes, the initial leg of the journey is more mouse-like "natural", but still not that because you can't vary speed on most keyboards unlike with they mouse/hand) For smaller distances you could just tap a few times.
